public class GLONASSNumericalPropagator
extends AbstractIntegratedPropagator

This class propagates GLONASS orbits using numerical integration.

As recommended by the GLONASS Interface Control Document (ICD), a 4th order Runge-Kutta technique shall be used to integrate the equations.

Classical used of this orbit propagator is to compute GLONASS satellite coordinates from the navigation message.

If the projections of luni-solar accelerations to axes of Greenwich geocentric coordinates X''(tb), Y''(tb) and Z''(tb) are available in the navigation message; a transformation is performed to convert these accelerations into the correct coordinate system. In the case where they are not available into the navigation message, these accelerations are computed.

Constructor Detail

GLONASSNumericalPropagator

public GLONASSNumericalPropagator(GLONASSNumericalPropagator.Builder builder)

Private constructor.

Parameters:

builder - the builder

Method Detail

getGLONASSOrbitalElements

public GLONASSOrbitalElements getGLONASSOrbitalElements()

Gets the underlying GLONASS orbital elements.

Returns:

the underlying GLONASS orbital elements

propagate

public SpacecraftState propagate(AbsoluteDate date)

Propagate towards a target date.

Simple propagators use only the target date as the specification for computing the propagated state. More feature rich propagators can consider other information and provide different operating modes or G-stop facilities to stop at pinpointed events occurrences. In these cases, the target date is only a hint, not a mandatory objective.

Specified by:

propagate in interface Propagator

Overrides:

propagate in class AbstractIntegratedPropagator

Parameters:

date - target date towards which orbit state should be propagated

Returns:

propagated state

getPVInPZ90

public PVCoordinates getPVInPZ90(SpacecraftState state)

This method transforms the PV coordinates obtained after the numerical integration in the ECEF PZ-90.

Parameters:

state - spacecraft state after integration

Returns:

the PV coordinates in the ECEF PZ-90.

createMapper

                                   double mu,
                                   OrbitType orbitType,

                                   AttitudeProvider attitudeProvider,
                                   Frame frame)

Description copied from class: AbstractIntegratedPropagator

Create a mapper between raw double components and spacecraft state. /** Simple constructor.

The position parameter type is meaningful only if propagation orbit type support it. As an example, it is not meaningful for propagation in Cartesian parameters.

Specified by:

createMapper in class AbstractIntegratedPropagator

Parameters:

referenceDate - reference date

mu - central attraction coefficient (m³/s²)

orbitType - orbit type to use for mapping

positionAngleType - angle type to use for propagation

attitudeProvider - attitude provider

frame - inertial frame

Returns:

new mapper

getMainStateEquations

protected AbstractIntegratedPropagator.MainStateEquations getMainStateEquations(ODEIntegrator integ)

Description copied from class: AbstractIntegratedPropagator

Get the differential equations to integrate (for main state only).

Specified by:

getMainStateEquations in class AbstractIntegratedPropagator

Parameters:

integ - numerical integrator to use for propagation.

Returns:

differential equations for main state
